Mohan Bhagwat, chief of Hindu organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, says women should all move out of the city to prevent themselves falling victim to gang-rape or sex crimes.

‘You go to villages and forests of the country and there will be no such incidents of gang-rape or sex crimes. They are prevalent in some urban belts.’

WRONG: Rapists cause rape.

Om Prakash Chautala, a politician from Haryana, thinks that women should just chill out and get married, rather than protest about rape – which, in 2012, he said was ’90 per cent’ just sex gone wrong.

‘Girls should be married at the age of 16, so they have their husbands for their sexual needs, and they don’t need to go elsewhere.’

WRONG: Rapists cause rape.

6. A condom advert.

Or more specifically, the female actress in the ad.

Like most adverts, this one uses sex appeal to sell, which you could say is expected considering what they’re trying to flog is vital for safe sex.

But Sunny Leone, a Canadian-Indian actress and ex-porn star, who features in the ad has been slammed. Shukla Singh, ex-chair for the Delhi Commission for Women Barkha, said: ‘The shabby, ugly or immoral way the actress seduces or sexually provokes a man in the advertisement to use condoms is nothing but serving immorality and bad practice.’

The ad was also blamed for eradicating male ‘sensibility’ by Atul Anjan, a member of the Community Party of India.

He said: ‘It is such a dirty and disgusting advertisement. It develops sexuality, and destroys your sensibility.’

WRONG: Rapists cause rape.

Just in case there was still any confusion about what it is exactly that causes rape – it’s rapists.
